If you’re the kind of engineer who wants to build fast, own outcomes, and create something that matters - let’s talk.

We’re building the future of recruiting with AI - and we need an exceptional engineer to join our founding team in our San Francisco hackerhouse.

We just raised a $3M pre-seed from top-tier investors and are looking for someone to be one of our first engineering hires. This is the real deal: meaningful equity, direct impact on product direction, and the chance to build something massive in a $600B industry ripe for disruption.

What We’re Building:

Clera is reimagining how top talent finds their dream jobs. We’re already working with leading VC-backed startups like Mintlify, Luminai, and Windsurf - automating the entire headhunting process end-to-end with AI agents.

Thousands of talents engage with Clera every week. We’ve helped many land roles at companies they’re genuinely excited about. Traditional recruiting is broken - we’re fixing it with AI-first automation that delivers better outcomes for both candidates and companies.

We’re at the perfect inflection point: early enough that you’ll have massive ownership and impact, but far enough that we have a working product, paying customers, and strong traction.
